I served with Adam in Ely, NV during the fall/winter of 2000. He was a good man and one of the meekest I have ever met. To the family, my condolences. To Adam, serve well and enjoy your rest among the Saints both noble and great.

I was one of Adams mission companions in Las Vegas. He was a great person to work with and always had a smile on his face. I'm glad he can rest now.

I met Adam 18 years ago. Nothing got this great man down. Despite missing a semester in school, still graduated on time. He, Kelly and I went hiking and backpacking. He was always looking for the next adventure in his life. my favorite picture of us is leaving to backpack up Stanley Cannon, a trip that I will never forget.

What a guy!!! Actually, he was one of the nicest young men we have been privileged to know. He was loved so much because of who he was and the example he set for everyone who knew him. Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with the family. Tom and LeAnne Sorensen

I've read all of the tributes of this wonderful son of God and find myself wishing that I had known him much better. He was very accomplished. I had no idea he had earned his Silver Beaver in scouting. That is no small feat. We love you and are thinking of and praying for you at this time.

I only knew Adam for a short while at the "Y", but could easily tell that he was a definite inspiration to all who had the pleasure of his company. He will be missed, but is now in the company of angels, with no pain. God Bless,

My life sure was blessed the day I met Adam. Our relationship was a unique God-given friendship I'll cherish always. I close my eyes and see his beautiful smile..it could light up any dark day. Thank you Lord for giving us such a wonderful Angel until you needed him for a better purpose. I love you Adam!

Adam will be missed by many. Our group at the Y loved and adored him. Such a wonderful INSPIRATION to mankind. He walked in Jesus footsteps all of the days of his life. He suffered and he triumphed. What a gift he was. Now he walks with Our Heavenly Father. As his parents you must have been chosen by God. Blessed with Faith, Patience, Love, and Compassion. As we all rejoice on Easter Morning Adam will be with us, no longer in pain. May God Bless and keep you on His Care!
